VITALY
World-class illusionist Vitaly has dazzled audiences worldwide, from lighting up Times Square to leaving even the sharpest minds mystified—including Las Vegas legends Penn & Teller. On their hit TV show Fool Us, Vitaly achieved the rare feat of fooling the duo not once but twice, placing him among an elite group of performers. From bringing photographs and paintings to life to making audience members vanish from their own driver’s licenses, his show An Evening of Wonders has been hailed as featuring some of the most extraordinary and mind-bending magic ever seen, even by seasoned illusionists.
In 2018, Vitaly’s talents earned him a coveted off-Broadway run, produced by Daryl Roth, the force behind Tony-winning hits like Kinky Boots and Indecent. His 16-week engagement at the prestigious Westside Theatre—where Penn & Teller began their journey in the 1980s—showcased his unique artistry on one of New York’s most celebrated stages.
Born in Israel and now based in Vancouver, BC, Vitaly’s love for magic ignited at age 14 after watching a David Copperfield special. What began as entertaining friends and family with jaw-dropping illusions soon evolved into a career unlike any other in the world of magic. Leaving behind a promising career in engineering, he devoted himself to rekindling audiences' childlike wonder and bridging the gap between dreams and reality with his boundary-breaking illusions.
Praised as “one of the most captivating and enjoyable illusionists performing today” (Chicago Tribune), Vitaly has gained international acclaim for his ability to “break down boundaries to let his audience’s imaginations roam into the realm of the impossible” (Broadway World). From intimate theaters to corporate stages and TV screens, Vitaly continues to amaze, redefining what magic can be.
